Been following a 5x5 program and supping with Intimidate and Erase Pro. The gains came very quickly, and was really liking the way my body was looking. Decided to kick it up a notch by cutting back the carbs and increasing the protein with the idea that cutting off some BF will improve my look.
In two weeks time (since changing my diet), my Bench Press, Squat, Deadlift, Barbell Row, and Overhead Press have all continued to increase, but my look is going the wrong way. Definitely not as defined as I was, yet I am stronger. WTF am I doing wrong?
As far as my diet goes, all I've really done is clean it up. Nothing hardcore. Cut out the french fries and bread, and increased fruit and veg. But I couldn't tell you how many calories I've been cutting since "cutting back". Added ECA to help out with the cravings. Lost about 1# in 2 weeks.
Hopefully there is a better solution than putting fries back in my diet. The fruit that I eat is 2 oranges and 2 apples a day. Lots of spinach and kale for the veg.
The first pic is two weeks ago. The after pic is today.
